The wolf who cried

The big bad wolf doesn't want to be bad anymore.
Nobody knows how sad he is to sit alone.
He just wants friends to play with,
but nobody looks past what society says he's made of.
He isn't any diffrent from the rest of the animals.
He just wants to fit inbetween, but all that can be seen is his family's false reputation of being mean.
He wants to be cleaned and freed from their horrible deeds.
He says to the pigs he just wants to hang with them and treated as an actual living animal, not just an avoidable object seen far behind scenes on tv.
No that's not what he means take him off of the horror movie screen.
He just wants to be part of the peace.
After all don't you all breathe the same air he breathes.
He wants to be more than his appearance, but for what's beneath.
A warm hearted creature loving indeed.
